The ultimate coffee infusion by Drew Estate.
Drew Estate Tabak Especial is a delicious infusion of Nicaragua’s finest coffee beans and aged, Esteli-grown long-fillers. This infusion results in a rich tobacco core layered by savory notes of espresso and milk chocolate, finished by a sweet, velvety aftertaste. So how do you make a masterpiece blend even better? You create some special edition, highly-sought-after versions of the famed cigar.
The Cafe con Leche is a special, limited production size that employs two premium wrappers to generate a wealth of exquisitely satisfying nuances and aromas. Both the foot and head of the cigar are cloaked with a dark Connecticut Broadleaf maduro, while the center of the cigar utilizes a silky shade-grown Connecticut leaf. Complexity is an understatement, as this cigar unloads a bold series of rich and creamy sensations throughout the slow burn.
Love Love Love --- My Tabak Especial - Cafe Con Leche!!! I now have my friends loving them also. Sweet beginning & good pull with a great aroma!
Tried the "Red Eye" and the "Balada" and they were good. Nothing to get excited about, but nothing wrong with them. The Tabak con Leche though..... one of the best cigars you'll ever find. If you like the Java line you'll fall in love with this. It is simply put, perfection.
It is December 26th, sitting on my back porch enjoying my Irish coffee and a cigar to start the day. I couldn't have chosen a finer cigar to pair with. Started off slightly sweet, developed into a creamy smoothness that complements the coffee perfectly. Wonderful aroma, never a bite to it all the way to the nub. Got this in the recent Drew Estate upgrade when I bought my box of Dirt Torpedoes. Couldn't think of a finer cigar in the morning.
ATTENTION!!! Cigars International is "The bomb" for APO members. DONT BUY from others. They can take over a month to deliver. Ships PARCEL POST versus USPS Priority like CI. Now for the review of this cigar - The tip is a little too sweet from the beginning, but what a great cigar all the way through. The draw is smooth and creamy with hints of coffee. The dual wrapper plays tricks on you making you look at the cigar and think you puffing on two. This is one of if not my favorite cigar! Everyone needs to know your company is the best if they want the product delivered quickly. My average has been 8-10 days shipping to an APO in Japan. Great Job Drew Estates and CI!
Absolutely the best cigar with a cup of joe in the early AM. Personally my favorite of all Drew Estates lines including the overpriced ones, a must try for all.
I don't usually like flavored sticks, but these are fantastic with a good strong cup of coffee, or on their own.
I love this cigar, being a nubbie I have spent a lot of money trying many samplers, I have landed on Drew Estate cigars. After getting a Tabac Especial in one of my samplers I purchesded a box right away. I would highly recommend.
Tried these in a sampler, then ordered a box! Smooth, smooth, smooth!
Great cigars!
I had a Cafe Con Leche hanging around in my humidor for months after ordering an infused sampler. Just never got around to trying this one. I think the two-toned wrapper was making me think it was probably just a gimmick cigar. Smoked it and immediately ordered a box. There are not enough adjectives to praise this smoke! WOW, just WOW.
A thoroughly enjoyable smoke. Tasteful all the way to the end. Will definitely purchase again.
This has quickly become one of my new favorite cigars. From start to finish you will enjoy a smooth cigar with a well balanced mix of coffee, chocolate, and spice. If you smoke it all the way to the end you will get to experience a stronger coffee sensation which keeps me smoking this cigar for as long as I can keep my fingers on it.
Love Cafe con Lechi literally one of the best smokes ive had when it comes to flavored smokes. This cigar is perfect in the morning with a nice cup of coffee on a cool day. Love em!!
Absolutely amazing, for the price you couldn't have gotten a single thing better. I took it to my friends and they were all amazed, thank you CI for my favorite Drew estate cigar ever and for a good price too.
I'm not a big fan of infused, but this is a real delight. As far as coffee/chocolate infused cigars this would have to be my personal favorite. No matter when I travel I ensure I have a few in my herf. It's perfect to pair with dessert or to enjoy with a cup of coffee in the morning.
Great smoke from start to finish. Sweet chocolate and coffee taste throughout. Good draw on each puff. Will buy again.
I thought the Java Mint was awesome until I tried this cigar. This one is f--kin awesome period....
Wow, what a great smoke. The red eye is so far my favorite cigar ever, and I am not a fan of infused cigars normally. The cafe con leche is also great, milder but tasteful. The red eye is more flavorful, great taste of coffee throughout the smoke, fantastic to the nub. A must for any coffee and cigar lover.
Theses are some of the best smokes. Its to bad they are a limited edition (if that is the real case), I believe they would do just fine as a permenant item in the infusion garrison.
Without a doubt, Drew Estate's magical touch has made the Red Eye, the finest flavored or infused cigar, in the world! I smoked my last one, last night, & already I am experiencing withdrawal. The bold flavors of chocolate, expresso & caramel coat the palate & excite the senses. If you have never appreciated a flavored cigar, try this one & you will know why the madmen at Drew Estates know exactly what they are doing. Now to figure out how I can get my hands on a 10 pack of my absolute favorite infused vitola.
The best, gave one to a friend and he commented the best he's ever smoked. Have a tendency to try something else, but always go back to this one. Would be nice to have a special on them sometime. This is a great smoke, thanks for keeping them on hand.
This is a smooth laid back relaxing smoke. Yes, it does have to do with the coffee infusement. The association with coffee combined with a good smoke on its own enhances the subtly relaxing effect. I like these on a lazy puttering around time of day.
By far, the single best cigar experience of my life to date. I'm still rather new to flavored cigars, but good god this one is delicious. Between the sweetened cap and the two wrappers, this cigar creates a smooth, even flavored smoke from start to finish. It is very sweet at the beginning but evens with highlights of sweet cream, caramel and coffee. Simply amazing! There will definitely be a box of these in my next order.
Had the Cafe Con Leche (Negro) and it was fantastic. Similar to the CI Legends Copper Label (also a Drew Estate blend) only this one is stronger and more "tobacco-ish". Very good cigar, going to buy more of them. Got one of these and a "Red Eye" in a sampler package. Will be trying the Red Eye soon.
I ordered a sampler pack recently and this cigar was definately the best of the bunch. I actually got online to order a 5 pack right now. This cigar is delicious
OMG I Love Love Love Love this cigar!!!! My Fiance Loves it too, it is now his FAVORITE cigar. ok drew estate i see you.
I adore this cigar but, for me, I can do without the sweetened cap. I wrap the tip with tape to avoid that. Great smoke!
Holy Crap!!! After a long deployment in Mosul, Iraq, my buddy asked me to try this cigar. It was the "Cafe con Leche". I have to say, after a year long deployment in Iraq, this little piece of heaven made it all worth it. Great, Great cigar. I will definitely be buying a bunch of these.
Been a big fan of Drew Estates ever since my first puff on a Kuba Kuba. I must say that the Cafe con Leche has solidified my love for this company even more! You get that same sweetness that you do from other Drew Estates infused cigars, although it's a little more subtle. Then there's a spicy, peppery taste and all of a sudden the back note of coffee comes into play. A very enjoyable smoking experience! Good work guys!
I cant give much more praise than the previous posts, will just say if you loved java, the con leche is your new mistress, wow .. excellent excellent cigar .. try it !
Last night my neighbor and I tried for the first time the Tabak Especial Cafe Con Leche, let me say we were both floored by its creamy, sugary flavor!! Definitely the perfect after dinner stick to enjoy. My favorite in the Drew Estate (Acid) collection has been the Kuba Kuba Maduro, but now I have found my new favorite
